    You have asked me to record a video about singing on piano, so I decided to share with you my thoughts about mastering beautiful singing tone and phrasing and the legato playing. I hope you will find it useful.

    All teachers should be teaching this ability from early years, but most do not--they simply say "Try to make it sing more...". Your video is so very, very helpful--I can't thank you enough for explaining this so well!

    You are most correct, Tone is as *important as Hanon* and this video ties in beautifully with the chapter I'm reading from the book The Soprano on her Head by Eloise Ristad. She talks exactly about this concept. The example of you holding your left hand up and finding those tones is an excellent tip. Perfectly shaped tones is truly what improves your sound. Thank you.

    Maybe you should discuss, how to reduce the hammer 'bump' that occurs momentarily with each note. That would be interesting! I am 67 years playing and still performing and I so miss the understanding of removing (as much as possible) the percussive action of the piano in order to make it sing.

    Love this! A very difficult concept to grasp as I’ve heard my teachers over the years ask me to play like this but without being able to explain it very well. I look forward to trying this out in my next piano lesson. Thank you Greg!

    All perfectly explained. Of course, where and how much to put the crescendoes (and diminuendoes) is at times a matter of interpretation - just as a singer might crescendo or sing softly, unexpectedly, for a telling effect.

That will be very benefit to people who likes to play better on piano. Many of my local piano teachers do not know / do not teach about touchings, etc. It's really sad to see this.

    The diminuendo exercise is very useful. Is there something similar for crescendo? Since note naturally fades how can we better connect notes in a legato with crescendo?

    • @gregniemczuk
      @gregniemczuk  Год назад +2

      Crescendo is impossible..... We can only cheat using our imagination and do it in right parts of the phrases. When the phrase is well constructed, like in Chopin or Schubert, than it's easier.

    @petihundeuhun8950 Год назад +1

    OMG!!! What an amazing explanation, demonstration. I have a bit of a weird, kind of utopic imagination. I wish more teachers would be with the same attitude like you. And talking about not just the piano teachers. I say it more like generalized. People who love mathematics for example, should teach it with all of their hearth, with deepness. A car mechanic should be obsessed with cars and teach it with passion and so on. I think the attitude and the passion towards a job/profession is dying. Everyone does something but not with passion or not with deepness. The details are dying I think. And it is so sad. I think there is a japan word for passion/respect towards a profession/job, the word is: "ikigai". I love this word, I love the pure existence of it. Greg, you have "ikigai" towards the piano!!!

    very helpful video, i love your videos about technique, its always something to work on. How would you work on singing and legato playing if the composer provides few dynamic markings like Bach or Mozart?

    • @gregniemczuk
      @gregniemczuk  Год назад +1

      I will make a video about that also!

    • @gregniemczuk
      @gregniemczuk  Год назад

      In Bach you have to decide yourself, in Mozart consult with the singer or sing yourself

    Thank you for the amazing lecture!! Do you think this only applies to specific chopin pieces that the melody sings in, or would you roughly say this can be incoporated to all chopin pieces respectfully? Because of course not in all pieces and parts of chopin work, for example some mazurkas, the melody sings in.
    Thanks !

    When one sings, the air goes through the pipe steadily, continuously, no fading of the note. But on the piano, the note "dies" after the attack. So, how to "sustain"????

      @gregniemczuk yes the piano sounds good. But your voice is not heard that well. You have such wonderful expression and energy in the way you describe the pieces that I think gets wasted by not having a proper voice microphone.

    It took long for me to appreciate both nocturnes Op.62 and today they are my most loved ones. I think it`s because of the bad interpretations everywhere... for my taste at least.
    Polini`s records for example in both of them are not great.
    My favourites are Daniil Trifonov for No.1 and Charles Richard Hamelin for No.2.

    I think only Chopins music has this. I haven't heard any other composers music that has these qualities.
    The "outrageous quiet" dynamics.
    Not Liszt. Not Shumann.
    Chopin is the "fine-china" of music.
